PRINTING 
After selling our printing department eight years ago, one 
of the young men (Charles L. Parker), who had been work- 
ing for us, decided to start a printing business of his own. 
He will be very glad to quote on any work you may want 
done. With much pleasure I recommend him and am sure 
you will find him reliable in every way, and we both will 
appreciate any order you may place with him. Send all 
correspondence about printing direct to
